Risk

Risk is a multifactor calculation of the severity of a threat, likelihood of an occurrence, and the impact of that threat on organizational operations, reputation, and costs. This includes mission, functions, image, or reputation on the organization’s assets or individuals associated with the organization. Anything on an information system connected to a network can be open to risk. Data can be modified, copied, deleted, or encrypted, or a threat actor can access your organization’s systems without knowledge or consent and use the organization’s assets to launch other attacks.
